Early Redesign Thoughts (Part 2)

Continuing from our own amateur redesign thoughts, here are some perspectives we played around with (at least on the computer). Again all these are possibilities and we have not decided which (if any) the final structure will resemble.

Well, that's it for now. No doubt, we'll be coming up with other variations or combinations of those designs reflected. My current inclination is towards something like (A) or (B), with some elements of (E) included. But we shall see what my friend Peter suggests ...

Early Redesign Thoughts (Part 1)

We've been spending a lot of time thinking about how to redesign and transform the property into something that meets our needs and preferences.

Here's a short (and definitely incomplete!) list of what we think we want. And as typical consumers, we reserve the right to be fickle and change our minds when we see something nicer :-)

*  Large kitchen with island top in middle
*  Large library + study + discussion area
*  High ceiling in part of house
*  Large master bedroom with attached bathroom & walk-in wardrobe
*  Spacious living room
*  Dining room with table to seat at least 8 people
*  Father's suite on ground floor
*  Larger cemented area in front for easier car movement
*  Landscaped garden with nice central feature
*  Tall solid wall (at least 7 feet high) around property

Here are some of our early thoughts on what can be ...

Let me share first the draft plans (these are my own amateur drafts - not to scale - with estimated dimensions). I must emphasise that these plans are absolutely NOT cast in stone. It is only a very early concept, and I am sure that you will see enhanced designs later.
